You will be updated with latest job alerts via emailThe Metabolomics Expertise Center (MEC) is located on the Gasthuisberg campus in Leuven and specializes in the analysis of biochemical reactions in living cells or organisms (metabolomics) using mass spectrometry as core technology. The MEC is renowned for its high-end technological machine park and holds a unique expertise in Belgium through the development of a Google Maps-like platform that helps researchers to understand which biochemical roads are followed. This allows for studying the underlying mechanisms in a broad diversity of diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, inflammation, etc. The platform is used intensively by national and international researchers. As such, the MEC significantly contributes to various (inter)national studies in the field of metabolism.
As a lab technician, you will play an important supporting role in the daily activities of the MEC, including sample preparation, keeping various types of mass spectrometers operational, and data analysis (processing raw data from the mass spectrometer into biologically interpretable data). You will use various software programs (commercial and in-house developed platforms) and you will be guided by both the senior technical and academic staff of the expertise center.
Planned start date: to be discussed (ASAP)
